A more perverse re-interpretation of Hitchens on morality, totalitarianism and theocracy I never expect nor wish to read...A shameful piece which Hitch would roundly trash on all the points so twistedly presented, ...just as he would shrug off the false flattery designed to portray the writer as an insightful friend.

The conclusions one could draw from this piece is that no matter what decent minded atheists say, really they are all Christians.

One could argue that if you choose to redefine "Christianity" as being moral in ones actions and words - the there are more "Christian" atheists than church going Christian preachers.

the truth of morality is that the only true forms spring from a humanity untainted by notions of a judgemental God -

the judgement that Hitchens and potentially other fine moral atheists are in some ways Christian is to say that because something can swim, it is a fish.

and yes Mother Theresa was a waste of human - fixed there by a Papacy in her depression most unfairly...
